If Our Hearts Ain't in It (feat. Bonnie Raitt)
Go to church seven days a week
Read the Bible three hours a day
Say a thousand Hail Mary's
Rush to confession very time we stray
We can fall down on our knees
An' call the Archangels by name
But if our hearts ain't in it
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Ask forgiveness for all our sins
An' vow to change our ways
Pledge money to the poor an' homeless
For all we have give thanks an' praise
We can fall down on our knees
Shout, "Hallelujah, my soul is saved"
But if our hearts ain't in it
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Sometimes, when I say, "I forgive you"
Lord knows, I'm not ready for that
In my mind, you're still wrong an' I'm right
In my heart, I'm still holdin' back
Go to church seven days a week
Quote Scripture with everything we say
Be baptised in a river
Weep an' moan everytime we pray
Now, we can fall down on our knees
Say, "Thank you, Jesus" again an' again
But if our hearts ain't in it
People, you know, ain't nothing' much
Is gonna change
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Read the Bible three hours a day
Say a thousand Hail Mary's
Rush to confession very time we stray
We can fall down on our knees
An' call the Archangels by name
But if our hearts ain't in it
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Ask forgiveness for all our sins
An' vow to change our ways
Pledge money to the poor an' homeless
For all we have give thanks an' praise
We can fall down on our knees
Shout, "Hallelujah, my soul is saved"
But if our hearts ain't in it
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Sometimes, when I say, "I forgive you"
Lord knows, I'm not ready for that
In my mind, you're still wrong an' I'm right
In my heart, I'm still holdin' back
Go to church seven days a week
Quote Scripture with everything we say
Be baptised in a river
Weep an' moan everytime we pray
Now, we can fall down on our knees
Say, "Thank you, Jesus" again an' again
But if our hearts ain't in it
People, you know, ain't nothing' much
Is gonna change
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
Ain't nothin' much is gonna change
